With all the offshoring going on right now, there's about 10k indian guys working twice faster with twice the training for half the price...

Rob, aren't you scared of being outsourced soon?

All of us tech guys are replaceable and upgradable.

I just try to continually have the business sense, flexibility, reachibility, knowledge of the industry, and new skill sets to keep getting business.   

plus I always have the MBA should I have to get a *real* job.

I'm specialized in Data Warehousing and data integration (ETL). Been doing this for 8 years... Worked For Lexis-Nexis, Oracle, Informatica and now work for Teradata/NCR.  I don't really write code anymore; doing mostly architectural work and high level design.

This dude is the guru of Data warehousing, good start:  http://www.kimballgroup.com/

Technology wise, .NET is still pretty hot right now; I would focus on that. 80% of our development is based on it

The rest pretty much learned it during my Ms in CS...

Ahh, you shoulda told me you had a degree in CS before the olympia...we coulda chatted programming. I was there w/ my buddy who does cell phone game programming for a living...and I have my BS in CS. No Masters tho.

Yea kinda geeky on the side... only reason I'm still in the bay area. Came here for school and obviously stayed after I graduated. Moving to SD in a couple of months, tired of engineeringm moving on the marketing side for a while...

All depends what kind of sector you're looking for.

Enterprise Business Software is Java donimated.
Desktop apps & consumer software is mainly .NET/MSFT
Web based devlopment (real transaction sites, not some flash crap) used to be mainly JSP based but .NET/ASPX is gaining a lot of market share lately, I would say it's close to 50/50 by now.

If you want to write GUI, sitck with .NET. If you want to work on backend type of apps, stick with java.

thanks for the reply, very good observations.
I work more as a support analist. I was trying to get a developerīs job (in java) but here its very difficult. The Java market its only good to people that are VERY good at it and have lots of experience in the development area...Since i dont come from that area i didnt got any spot for me...
